Would you get naked on a first date?

We're not
being cheeky - the question is rather more literal than you might think: would
you accept an invitation to a date... in London's first naked food hangout?

If the
words 'Clothing: optional' are what you look for in a restaurant's dress code,
you're in good company: the pop-up restaurant, The Bunyadi (meaning
'fundamental', 'base' or 'natural') - set to open in London in
summer 2016 - already has a waiting list of 37,000+ customers waiting to dine
out in their birthday suits at the 42-seater eatery.

The
restaurant's website tells diners they will enter "a secret Pangaea-like
world free from phones, electric lights and even clothing", in which they
can "revisit the beginning where everything was fresh, free and
unadulterated from the trappings of modern life". Meanwhile, the
restaurant's co-founder said: "We believe people should get the chance to
enjoy and experience a night out without any impurities: no chemicals, no
articifical colours, no electricity, no gas, no phone and even no
clothes."

Food will
be wood-flame grilled and served on handmade clay crockery and even the cutlery
itself will be edible.

If you're
wondering how you'll get there sans clothing (after all, there aren't naked carriages on the Tube just yet), fear not: the
restaurant will provide lockers for those who wish to dine in the nuddy
(or with lightweight gowns to cover their modesty). And if you'd rather the meat and two veg were on the menu rather than on display, there's a separate seating area for those who wish to remain clothed.
